Save Your Natural Tooth With Root Canal
At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics in Aledo, TX, we know how painful and stressful a tooth infection can be, but losing your tooth doesn’t have to be the answer. Root canal therapy allows us to save your natural tooth while relieving pain caused by infection or deep decay. Our focus is on comfort, precision, and long-term results, helping you get back to smiling confidently again.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a common dental procedure that removes the infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth. The area is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent future infection. This treatment not only eliminates pain but also preserves your natural tooth structure, preventing the need for extraction.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
If you experience any of the following, it might be time to see us:
- Sharp or lingering tooth pain that won’t go away
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts after eating or drinking
- Tender or swollen gums near one tooth
- A tooth that has darkened in color
- Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
Addressing these symptoms early can prevent complications and save your tooth.
How the Procedure Works
At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics, your comfort comes first. Here’s what you can expect during your root canal visit:
Diagnosis
We’ll take X-rays to assess the infection and plan your treatment.
1
Comfort
The area will be completely numbed with local anesthesia.
2
Cleaning
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inner tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
3
Filling
The cleaned space is filled and sealed to protect the tooth from bacteria.
4
Restoration
A crown or filling is added later to restore strength and function.
5
